    If you want I'll dedicate one of my machines at home after work haha. It can probably do 30 votes/min reliably.

    Honestly I dont know how anyone thinks Dichio's is the more skillful strike.


    Timing a volleying that is coming straight down over your head and putting enough curl to sneak it past a diving keeper, inside the far post, and well under the cross bar is a very skilful technique. He tries that 10 times again and probably comes up with 4 over the bar, 2 squibblers wide, and another handful into the keepers gloves. I’ll take my chances with Rickets being able to repeat his strike more often than not. Rickets shook off his defender with a series of foot and head fakes. A beautiful goal grant it, but some blame to the shit defender at the same time.

    Honestly, get over it…not worth getting yourself all worked up.

    Yeah, that's so like DD. I mean, he just keeps putting stupid shots on net that never have a chance of going in, just in case. Oh, wait, 5 shots on net, 5 goals this year. Weird.

    As for the goals, they were both amazing, which means we'll lose because no other team will vote for a TFC player (they hate us for ballot stuffing) and we'll split the vote.

    Personally i think DD's is the better goal. RR goal was fantastic, i just think Dichio's was a bit better.

    They're both great!

    Gotta go with Ricketts though...it's almost like he disappeared for a second and nobody knew where he was until he popped up on the other side of the defender and roofed it.

    They were two very different goals. A different skill required and a different complexity to each. The only way you can really determine whose was better is to ask which was more likely to miss given 10 opportunities or which will be a much more infrequent type of goal. In my opinion, it's DD’s goal. Rohan would probably say it himself that Dichio’s required far more concentration and finishing touch than his straight up shimmy-sham move followed by a killer strike?!

    But how does that have anything to do with his goal?!

    I wasn't refering to his performance the past few weeks, I'm was talking about the "dipsy doodle" as Dobson so eloquently put it during that particular goal.

    I like the "yes" guy, it's much better than the Comcast (I think it was) who announce a goal with "It's in the net! It's in the net!" They even do this on non-spectacular/surprising goals. Well duh. That and the Rapids announcer for last game just thought all the black guys looked the same, knew nothing about anything and mistook many players for others. And of course the Houston people last week were brutal. So IMO, the "yes" guy I can live with.

    Whenever I hear Max Bretos yells 'yyyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh' I realize why soccer is so unpopular in the US.

    We haven't won this year and I don't expect us to. Either MLS is stepping in to try to stop our stuffing, or other teams are just pissed at us over last year, but there have been some strange losses so far this year. This week we probably deserve the nod, and won't get it. Oh well, DC needs to confidence boost more than we do anyway, I mean, we're gonna win the cup after all, let them have GOTW.

    DC is stuffing the ballot box, probably through their scripts.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    We know it is. Earlier today Ricketts was at 50% and last time I checked we were down to 25% with the DC guy at 38%.
